I undocked, and used a Bastion Module on a Vargur. Checked out several bonusses (changed ammo a couple of times to see the new optimal/falloff ranges), turned Bastion Module off and tried to dock.
Was utterly stunned to see a red agression timer in the upper left corner, and the Station refusing my docking request due to 'Agression towards another capsuleer.' With only 150 people on at the time, it's a pretty safe bet there wasn't a capsuleer in the same constellation as me.
Is this intended behaviour? |

I guess I'm too naive to see how this could be exploited, but I'll just go ahead and take your word for it! Thanks for the answer.
Regarding the Strontium Clatherates theory, this is an excerpt from the manual that came with my Bastion Module (yes, I read manuals...)
<...> Through a series of electromagnetic polarity field shifts, the bastion module diverts energy from the ship's propulsion and warp systems to lend additional power to its defensive capabilities.
This results in a greatly increased rate of defensive self-sustenance and a boost to the ship's overall damage resistances. <...>
Furthermore, how would you nano-atomize Strontium Clatherates? If you'd atomize it into particles smaller than Atoms, you're basically using fission, which by its very definition leaves you with different elements. Same goes for 'catalyzed'. This suggests a chemical reaction which would also leave you with different chemicals.
Strontium Clatherate is merely being atomized, excited through electromagnetic polarity field shifts (basically using a microwave) using all the energy from your power core. It is then pumped through your defensive systems where it transfers all the energy. Once it has lost it's superfluous energy, it reverts to it's original state. It can then be excited again. This is a closed system, much like the old refrigerators used to have. Rumors of these systems leaking radiation into the ship are therefore completely unfounded.
A POS uses a separate reactor to achieve invulnerability, which use Strontium Clatherates as fuel. The resulting toxic waste is then vented into space. |
